- suitable means such as a switching regulator.
- the normal state in which all the key telephone sets KTA and KTB are operating will be referred to as the normal mode and the state in which only the key telephone set KTA is operating will be referred to as the sleep mode.
- the normal mode a control circuit CPU of the key service unit ME is operating under control of a program of a read only memory ROM, while control circuits KPU of the key telephone sets KTA and KTB are each operating under control of a program of a read only memory KOM.
- the power supply from the key service unit ME to the key telephone sets KTA and KTB takes place via a route [VC 1 of ME ⁇ T 1 ⁇ LN 1 ⁇ T 5 of KTA ⁇ KPW ⁇ T 6 ⁇ LN 2 ⁇ T 2 of ME ⁇ GND]in the key telephone set KTA and via a route [VC 2 of ME ⁇ T 3 ⁇ LN 3 ⁇ T 7 of KTA ⁇ KPW ⁇ T 8 ⁇ LN 4 ⁇ T 4 of ME ⁇ Q ⁇ GND]in the key telephone set KTB.
- reference Q is a power switch, which is, in the normal mode, supplied with a high level H from a latch circuit LT via a resistor R and hence is in the ON state.
- the control circuit CPU in the key service unit ME performs ON-OFF control of the power switch Q, so that the following operations can be effected.
- the ON time and the OFF time of the power switch Q corresponding to each key telephone set KTB are stored in a random access memory RAM of the key service unit ME through operation of a keyboard KEY of the key telephone set KTA. Now, the route of information in this case will be described.
- the control circuit KPU of the key telephone set KTA identifies time information in response to a change in the information from the keyboard KEY and transmits the time information from a transmitting-receiving circuit KXR to the key service unit ME. It is also possible, in this instance, that the information from the keyboard KEY be temporarily stored in a random access memory KAM and sent out therefrom at a time.
- the control circuit CPU receives information from a transmitting-receiving circuit XR corresponding to the key telephone set KTA and stores it in a random access memory RAM.
- the control circuit CPU compares time information of a clock circuit CLK with the OFF time read out of the random access memory RAM and, in the case of coincidence therebetween, sets a low level L in the latch circuit LT.
- the power switch Q in turned OFF, and the power supply to the key telephonse set KTB is stopped.
- the control circuit CPU sets a high level H in the latch circuit LT to turn ON the power switch Q, initiating the power supply to the key telephone set KTB.
- FIG. 5 The flow of this processing is depicted in FIG. 5, including the following steps:
- the power switches Q of all the key telephone sets KTB are turned OFF by operating the keyboard KEY of the key telephone set KTA, providing the sleep mode. After a predetermined elapsed time, the power switches Q of all the key telephone sets KTB are turned ON by operating the keyboard KEY of the key telephone set KTA, turning the sleep mode to the normal mode. The route of information in this case will be described.
- the control circuit KPU of the key telephone set KTA identifies the OFF information of the power switch Q in response to a change in the information from the keyboard KEY and transmits the OFF information via the transmitting-receiving circuit KXR to the key service unit ME.
- the control circuit CPU receives the OFF information via the transmitting-receiving circuit XR corresponding to the key telephone set KTA and then sets the low level L in the latch circuit LT. Thus, the power switches Q are turned OFF, stopping the power supply to the key telephone sets KTB.
- control circuit CPU receives, from the transmitting-receiving circuit XR corresponding to the key telephone set KTA, the ON information delivered via the same route as in the above and then sets the high level H in the latch circuit LT.
- the power switch Q is turned ON, starting the power supply to the key telephonse set KTB.
- FIG. 6 The flow of this processing is shown in FIG. 6, including the following steps:
- the power switch Q Upon occurrence of an incoming call to the key service unit ME in the sleep mode, the power switch Q is turned ON, providing the normal mode.
- the key telephone set KTA or KTB answers the incoming call and upon ON-hooking after communication, the power switch Q is turned OFF, and the key telephone set KTB returns to the sleep mode.
- the control circuit CPU receives incoming call information from an incoming call detector INC 1 of a CO line circuit COT 1 and sets the high level H in the latch circuit LT. By this operation, the power switch Q is turned ON, initiating the power supply to the key telephone set KTB.
- the control circuit KPU Upon ON-hooking of the called key telephone set KTA of KTB, its control circuit KPU identifies ON-hooking information in response to a change in the information from the keyboard ME and sends it from the transmitting-receiving circuit KXR and the key service unit ME.
- the control circuit CPU receives the ON-hooking information via the transmitting-receiving circuit XR corresponding to the called key telephone set KTA or KTB, and then sets the lower level L in the latch circuit LT. By this operation, the power switch Q is turned OFF, stopping the power supply to the key telephone set KTB.
- FIG. 7 The flow of this processing is shown in FIG. 7, including the following steps:
- the CO line circuit COT i automatically answers by a predetermined function and then connects the CO line CO-1 to a PB signal receiver PBR.
- a predetermined function for example, in a case where the subscriber wants to hear at a remote place a message recorded during his absence, upon receiving of a specified dial signal (a voice frequency signal, for example) known by only the subscriber, the PB signal receiver PBR identifies the specified dial signal, by which the power switch Q is turned OFF, turning it in the sleep mode.
- the sleep mode services by this special function can be received by the subscriber. After a predetermined elapsed time, the subscriber performs the same dialing operation as that for calling, thereby turning ON the power switch Q to return to the normal mode.
- the control circuit CPU of the key service unit ME receives incoming call information from the incoming call detector INC 1 of the CO line circuit COT 1 , the control circuit CPU causes the CO line circuit COT 1 to establish a loop including the CO line and, futher, controls a speech network control circuit SWC and a speech network SW to connect the CO line circuit COT 1 to the PB signal receiver PBR.
- the PB signal receiver PBR Upon receiving specified dial information from the subscriber, the PB signal receiver PBR transmits OFF information to the control circuit CPU, which sets the low level L in the latch circuit LT. In consequence, the power switch Q is turned OFF, stopping the power supply to the key telephone set KTB.
- control circuit CPU receives ON information from the PB signal receiver PBR via the same route as in the above and sets the high level H in the latch circuit LT.
- the power switch Q is turned ON, starting the power supply to the key telephone sets KTB.
- FIG. 8 The flow of this processing is depicted in FIG. 8, including the following steps:
- FIG. 4 illustrates the principal part of another embodiment of the power supply circuit of the present invention which employs two-winding transformers. This embodiment is identical with the embodiment of FIG. 3 in the operation signals used, the control methods and the omitted parts.
- the control circuit CPU sets the high level H in the latch circuit LT, the power switch Q is turned ON to start the power supply to the key telephone set KTB, and when the low level L is set in the latch circuit LT, the power switch Q is turned OFF, stopping the power supply to the key telephone set KTB.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 each illustrate a start system in which one key telephone set is connected to one power supply circuit
- the present invention is also applicable to a branch system in which two or more key telephone sets are connected to one power supply circuit.
- the speech network SW can be used either with a space division system or with a time division system.
- the power supply to key telephone sets which are not used is stopped by turning ON and OFF the power switch, thereby reducing the power consumption of the key telephone system.
